Produces a vector of hex color strings matching the color ramp used by the
Java Maxent software (density/Display.java::showColor()). The
default palette cycles Red → Yellow → Green → Cyan → Blue across 1020
steps, with higher values rendered as red and lower values as blue.
Usage
maxent_color_ramp(n = 1020L, mode = "plain")
Arguments
- n
Integer: number of colors to generate (default 1020, matching the
Java implementation).
- mode
Character: one of "plain" (default),
"log" (logarithmic spacing), "blackandwhite"
(greyscale, white = high, black = low), or "redandyellow"
(red–yellow ramp).
Value
Character vector of n hex color strings of the form
"#RRGGBB".
Examples
pal <- maxent_color_ramp(1020)
pal[1] # "#FF0000" (max value → red)
#> [1] "#FF0000"
pal[510] # near "#00FF00" (mid-point → green)
#> [1] "#00FF00"
pal[1020] # "#0000FF" (min value → blue)
#> [1] "#0000FF"
